Thanks for the pointers...
Another quick ?.
Im rewriting a rather large script, and I read somewhere that an
application would run slightly faster if you drop out of php to display
html.
So like
<?php
=== php code goes here ===
?>
</td></tr></table>
<?php
=== php code goes here ===
?>
If the application is rather large, does the constant jumping in and out
of php slow it down?
Or if you use *echo* with single quotes to display literal meanings like
echo '</td></tr></table>';
suffice??
That should be it.
Thanks
